California Man Arrested In Connection With Stabbing, body Found In Suitcase
ONTARIO, Calif. (AP) -- Police arrested a man suspected of stabbing a woman he had just met at a Motel 6 and killing another woman whose body was stuffed in a suitcase.
The incident began when a man started a conversation with the woman at the pool area Tuesday and then allegedly stabbed her six times, police said.
The woman was being treated at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton.
Ontario police spokesman David McBride said her injuries were not life-threatening.
Officers investigating the attack found the suspect, identified as 23-year-old Mark Edward Thomas, hiding in a motel room and refusing to surrender. They used a taser gun to arrest Thomas, who was later booked for investigation of attempted murder and violating parole.
McBride said Thomas had been released from jail a few days ago.
The officers searched the room and found a suitcase containing the body of an unidentified woman. They were trying to determine how the woman was killed and how she ended up in Thomas' room.
